688987 divided by 39 
We want to divide 688987 by 39.

Moving on to step 1:
39 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 39

Let's proceed to step 2:
39 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 39 from 68 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 39

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 298 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 273 from 298 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 39

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 39 fits into 259 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 234 from 259 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 39

Going ahead to step 5:
258 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1766.0
Subtract 234 from 258 to get 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 39

Let's proceed to step 6:
39 goes into 247 6 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17666.0
If we subtract 234 from 247, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17666.3
Subtract 117 from 130 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 39 fits into 130 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17666.33
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 117 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17666.33, and the remainder is 0.013.
